Listeria monocytogenes can survive in soil and water for several months and in silage for over 5 years. Avoid soil-contaminated feed, feeding on the swampy/boggy ground. Do not feed mouldy silage. Keep hay dry. Keep food and water containers clean - avoid faecal contamination. A sheep vaccine against listeriosis is available in parts of Europe.
